He actually did work hard to lose weight this past season, and remember, in the past he was at least a good scoring center, although obviously he was a pretty poor rebounder and defender, and his effort and attitude were often questioned. Believe it or not he averaged 20 PPG once upon a time. Kind of like Brook Lopez in terms of what he did I guess, gave you 20 PPG but didn't rebound or play defense. That said, he did not look good with the Heat this past season, although in his defense he played very little.

They gave him a work out, not a contract. There's very low risk in giving a guy a work out. Considering how we have very little money available for a backup center, Curry and Hilton Armstrong make sense.

Or they could pick up Andre Blatche for the same amount of money and is on his worst day is about 50x better than Eddy Curry
